It is the student’s responsibility to be familiar with the SAP Policy andto monitor his/her progress each semester.Three Standards of Measurement: Standard 1 Cumulative Grade Point Average - Students should maintain the required grade point average to beeligible for financial aid. Standard 2 Credit Completion Rate - Students should successfully complete a percentage of hours attempted.This is the number of hours completed compared to the number of hours attempted. Standard 3 Maximum Time Frame - The maximum time frame allowable for students to complete the academicprogram cannot exceed 150% of attempted credit hours. Students that reach the maximum time framewill automatically be placed on financial aid suspension. All accredited postsecondary coursework willbe counted.FINANCIAL AID WARNING GPA - Warning Students who do not meet minimum standards for satisfactory progress will be given one semester ofwarning. During the warning semester, students will be eligible to receive financial aid. Credit Completion - Warning Students who do not successfully complete the minimum percentage of credit hours attempted will begiven one semester of warning regardless of GPA.

Students can also check theJCPortal.Reinstatement of Eligibility and Appeal Procedure In order to be reinstated on financial aid due to financial aid suspension for GPA and the completion rate,students must attend at their own expense until the minimum standards are met for satisfactory academicprogress. The preceding statement does not apply to students who are on financial aid suspension forhours. Students who lose eligibility for financial aid have the opportunity to appeal.

(Effective August 2011) FINANCIAL INFORMATION

44 J O N E S C O U N T Y J U N I O R C O L L E G E Audit Courses Audit courses are not considered credits attempted or earned, and students may not receive financial aid for auditing a course. Begin Again/Academic Amnesty The federal student aid program regulations make no provision for the concept of academic amnesty or academic begin again. A student’s entire academic record at JCJC, as well as transfer work from all previously attended accredited institutions, will be evaluated to determine Satisfactory Academic Progress. The FAO will always consider a student’s entire cumulative record when evaluating to determine eligibility for financial aid. Census Date The census date is the date during each term in which the FAO determines the final official enrollment for the term. The class(es) the student is enrolled in and ATTENDING as of the census date (each term) will determine the amount of financial aid the student may receive. Adding and dropping classes before and after the census date may affect financial aid awards and the amount the student owes to JCJC. Cumulative Record All academic records of JCJC students will be evaluated to determine eligibility for financial aid whether or not the students received aid for all semesters of attendance. Determination of Need The information submitted on the FAFSA will be used in a federally mandated calculation that determines what portion of students “cost of attendance” can be met through the students’ (and in the case of dependent students, the parents) resources. This figure is then subtracted from the cost of attendance during the appropriate period of enrollment. “Cost of attendance” is based on average costs for tuition and fees, room and board (even for commuter students), books and supplies, transportation, and miscellaneous personal expenses. This figure minus the expected family contribution (EFC) equals the documented limit for need-based financial aid. Once the documented limit is determined, awards are made by the Financial Aid Office based on the students’ eligibility for aid and the amount of need-based funds available. See calculation of financial need below: Cost of Attendance (COA) - Expected Family Contribution (EFC) = Financial Need Disbursement of Awards Federal, state, and other financial aid will be credited to the student’s account by the JCJC FAO. Any books, supplies, miscellaneous fees, and bobcat bucks (to the extent of funds available) may be allowed to be charged against the student’s account if authorized. All refunds to students, over the above charges, will be disbursed to the students based on the refund method selected. Additional information on refunds can be found at www.jcjc.edu/refunds. Student refund dates will be posted to the FAO website at the beginning of each semester. This does not apply to students who work on campus. All work-study checks will be disbursed on a monthly basis. Dual Enrolled Students Dual enrolled college students are not eligible to receive Title IV aid at two institutions. Dual enrolled high school students are not eligible for financial aid. Duration of Pell Grant Eligibility The maximum allowable time a student may receive pell grant funds is the equivalent of twelve (12) full-time semesters effective the 2012-2013 school year. Incomplete Grades Incomplete “I” grades must be completed within six weeks after the end of the semester in which the FINANCIAL INFORMATION

JONES COUNTY JUNIOR COLLEGE 45student received an “I”. If the “I” is not changed, the student will receive an “F”. An “I” will havethe same effect as an “F” when calculating hours attempted, completion rate, and quality points. Whencalculating semester and cumulative GPA, the “I” will be calculated until the grade is changed.Maximum Time Students are not eligible for any federal financial aid at JCJC after completing 150% of the timenormally required to complete their program of study, not to exceed 96 hours attempted, regardless ofGPA, cumulative hours earned, or change of program. In addition, hours attempted when the student didnot receive financial aid will also be calculated according to satisfactory academic progress requirements.Non-High School Graduates Students who enroll on or after July 1, 2012, are required to have a high school diploma or a recognizedequivalent. Students may receive Title IV aid if they demonstrate the ability to benefit from the academicprogram, and are enrolled in an eligible career pathway program as defined in the Higher Education Act.Remedial Courses Students receive institutional credit and grades for remedial courses; therefore, remedial courses will betreated in the same manner as other college courses attempted. Students may receive financial aid for upto 30 attempted remedial credit hours.Repeated Courses Repeated courses will be calculated in hours attempted. Effective July 2011, a student may receive TitleIV funds for a repeat course only once if the course was previously passed (received credit). Studentsrepeating failed coursework may receive aid. Please contact the FAO for questions about class repeats.Return of Title IV Funds The U.S. Department of Education’s Higher Education Amendment Act of 1998, requires that a schoolreturn all unearned Title IV aid when recipients withdraw from school. Students who withdraw from allclasses prior to completing more than 60% of an enrollment term will have their aid recalculated based onthe percentage of the term completed. Federal Title IV Financial Aid includes: Federal Pell Grant, FederalSupplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), and Federal Direct Student Loans.Priority Date The Financial Aid Priority Date for JCJC is generally April 1 each year. Information must be processedby the federal office, and all necessary paperwork must be submitted to the JCJC Financial Aid Office bythis date.Program of Study Students are expected to enroll in courses pertaining to their college major.Transfer Students Credit hours from previous postsecondary accredited college(s) will be counted. Transfer studentsseeking a degree at JCJC are eligible to receive financial aid if eligibility requirements are met.Transient/Guest Students Please contact the JCJC Financial Aid Office for additional information.Withdrawals Withdrawals will be calculated as hours attempted but will not be used to calculate the GPA.
